- David Kamari told the BBC
- David’s property has been hit by rocket fire: ‘If you live here one night, you go crazy.’
- Mayor Stern showed me
- The mayor of Kiryat Shmona, Avichai Stern, shows me the site where a rocket hit a street near his office last week. I don’t think there is any country in the world would accept daily fire against its citizens.
- Tom Perry: ‘They need to quit -- all of them. The biggest failure of our army and our country was 7 October, and they were our leaders. We don’t need these leaders.’
